TWO ARMED MEN ROB LEHIGH STREET McDONALD'S

Two men held up a McDonald's restaurant in Allentown at gunpoint Tuesday night and escaped with an undetermined amount of loot, police said.

No shots were fired and no one was injured.

About 10:40 p.m., two men wearing black masks and each carrying a handgun entered the restaurant at 3020 Lehigh St., said David Howells Jr., Allentown assistant police chief. They robbed the store, then ran out the back door in an unknown direction, Howells said.

He said he was unsure exactly what the men stole from the restaurant.

City police searched for the robbers with the help of a Salisbury Township police K-9 unit, Howells said. The investigation continues.

He asked anyone with information regarding the robbery to call the police tip line at 610-439-5911.
